Creating or editing a leaderboard
In Figure
9-7
, we see the web page in iTunes Connect for editing and creating a leaderboard. At item
A, we see a name for the leaderboard. This name is not the display name—it is for internal use only
and can be anything you want. Item B indicates the ID for the leaderboard. This is the value used in
code when referring to the leaderboard. Items C and D indicate how the scores in this leaderboard
should be organized. We have chosen to display our scores as an integer value (with no decimal
places), and we consider higher scores better. Item E shows that we have added display information
for one language. New languages can be added by clicking the Add Language button and specifying
the display name of the leaderboard, as well as indicating that the values are called “points” in our
case. Creating or editing an achievement is very similar to working with a leaderboard, as shown
in Figure
9-8
.
